"John is considered the dean of attorneys in Curry County and Del Norte County. And for good reason. He is always there when you need good legal advice. He has functioned as our corporate attorney since our inception 4 years ago. His office maintains all of our corporate records. Whenever we have a question he is one of the first we always call as we know we can depend on his advice. I have known John for almost 20 years and highly recommend him for any time legal advice is needed."
